Chapter 391 390 Transia’s first offline casino is about to open
Chapter 391 Transia’s first offline casino is about to open!
Adele quickly returned to Scarlet Castle with her Uncle Bella and Aunt Bernice, where Grand Duke Tris was already waiting.
According to Tris's own bragging, she had "interned" for a period of time in the Moon Holy City of the Songhai Empire when she was "young" and had her own unique understanding of necromancy, although she was not as good as a necromance master.
level, but as a necromancer, you still have the skills to check on Bernice’s condition.
Although Tris said it very cryptically, Murphy probably guessed it.
Tris's "internship" in the Songhai Empire was most likely not a formal "vampire study abroad" program, and it was very likely that she was secretly hiding in other people's holy cities to secretly learn the mysterious knowledge belonging to the Moon Priest, and she probably hadn't learned it well yet.
It was discovered by others.
She could only run away in the same embarrassment as when she tried to steal someone else's Holy Grail in the Elf Kingdom but failed and was chased.
Otherwise, with Tris's character who values knowledge and loves to commit suicide, she would not be able to allow herself to give up halfway in her study of death knowledge if she cannot reach the master level.
Counting this time, this is the first time that the Scarlet Witch in Mega Continent has been defeated?
Other people's Mega Continent is invincible in the world, but Tris's Mega Continent has been chased and beaten by everyone. Just say this treatment is magical, right?
However, in terms of her attitude towards seeking knowledge, Tris' seriousness and rigor are enough to make Murphy, who has been fishing in this area and has practiced several advanced swordsmanships to the master level, but is still half-experienced in summoning, feel ashamed.
and feel ashamed.
At the same time, while Tris was checking Bernice's body and studying the unique profession of the Necromantic Faction, the Knight of the Underworld, in Murphy's office, he also listened to Hogg's request relayed by Adele.
"He is indeed a smart guy, even a little too smart."
Murphy shook his head and said:
"It seems that it has not been lazy during this period, and has learned from the simplified version of the general history of the mainland that Transia will have the chaotic attitude of 'full of vitality and everything competing' when facing the black disaster.
It's clear Hogg already has safety concerns.
As those of us who support it with one hand, we must give it some confidence at this time."
"But if the administrative office admits that Hogg's clan is a member of Transia, it will definitely cause a big disturbance."
Adele said hesitantly:
"I estimate that Miriam and Professor Malcolm agree. The Archon has worried about manpower, while Professor Malcolm only wants to achieve equality between races.
However, the Transians are rude and stubborn. They are not so easy to accept a group of gnolls as their neighbors, especially when this place has been poisoned by gnolls in the past few hundred years, and the hatred between the two sides has become very strong.
It’s hard to untie.”
"Then just don't understand it and leave it to time."
Murphy was not so worried. He said to Adele:
"The locals still hated witch hunters before, but look at it now, there are young people who have taken the initiative to go to Morland Village to accept the hunting trial of witch hunters.
Although there is also a factor in the re-spreading of Avalon's faith, it is obviously also because the Witch Hunter has never been absent from every battle after the establishment of Scarlet Keep.
Although we Transnians are rude and stubborn, our difficult living environment has also made us realistic and steady.
The locals will not care about things that cannot keep them fed and clothed, as long as Hogg and his clan can stand firmly on our side during this black disaster and make visible contributions to Transia.
I believe it is only a matter of time before the locals accept them!
After all, judging from the situation of Kenport, the difference between the Transian Gnolls and the Dark Mountain Gnolls is quite big. If you have to say it, there is no problem if you think they are two species.
What's more, the Smuggler's Woodland is far away from the human settlements in Transia, and it is considered a border in every sense of the word.
Unless they are doing shady business, it is unlikely that anyone living here will have any contact with Hogg and its clan."
Speaking of this, Murphy glanced at Adele.
He said softly:
"You decide this matter, Adele! You are the Baroness of Darkness, and that is your territory. I should not overstep your authority to decide everything there.
You must also learn to shoulder your own management responsibilities instead of pushing your responsibilities to me in the name of 'loyalty', just like Maxim, who is Baron Lim but has never managed the territory for almost a day.
I now find that in his mouth, loyalty is not only a self-promotion, but also the perfect reason for being lazy.
Hey, this is probably what we often call ‘great wisdom but foolishness’.”
"Uh, okay, Master, but let's wait until the black disaster is over before we discuss these things."
Lady Adele hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"As you said, if Hogg wants to get a permanent fiefdom and occupy a position in the management of Transia, he and his tribe will have to make more contributions to this land.
Burying Ken Potter is a good beginning, the destruction of Plague Town will be an excellent gradual approach, and the Black Disaster will directly determine the ending between us and them."
"Well, that's it. Let's appease it first."
Murphy nodded.
He picked up the quill and continued to perfect the design of "Regiment Book No. 003" in his notebook. When Adele turned to leave, Murphy asked casually, seemingly unintentionally:
"Aren't you going to use the source blood? Bella and Bernice are very concerned about your situation. Even though they are dead, they still hope that you can be free."
This question stopped Lady Adele in her tracks.
She was silent for several seconds, then bit her lip and said in a subtle tone:
"What about you? Do you want me to leave you forever? Do you think my loyalty is not enough? I can improve, I can learn from Maxim.
I"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Murphy waved his hand to stop Adele from continuing. He whispered:
"Don't think too much, just do it."
"Okay, Master."
Adele breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and walked out.
After she left, Murphy slammed the pen in his hand on the table, and then reached out to cover his eyes. The expression on his handsome face was very painful and helpless.
Adele's character would never have said such pitiful words as when a kitten is about to be abandoned, and even had a hint of coquettishness.
It seems that the blood contract has had a serious impact on her mind. Although she never shows it, Sister E's dependence on herself has become more and more unextricable, as if she is stuck in a quagmire.
"I'm afraid something will happen if this continues."
Murphy rubbed his eyes and sighed:
"If I had known, I would have pinched her nose and forced her to drink it. Alas, it's all Femis's fault! You said it would be great if you were a normal vampire!
It would have been the perfect choice for you and Adele to sign a blood contract. If this could be done, I wouldn't need to worry about this anymore.
But considering that the birth and growth of Femis are related to dusk, the initiator of this incident is still the damn cult organization!
Riding on a horse!
You actually caused me such a big trouble. Sooner or later, I will have to wipe out all of you bad-doing bitches!
Oh, blood contract
It’s really a double-edged sword, but I’m really curious about what will happen to Happy Stick and Melia in the future? Is the ghost relationship between people across the world still going on?
Gee, this will definitely be interesting.
Ah, an unintentional warrior who is keen on fighting, a blind vampire with a rough life, a contract that is not based on emotion but just for help and benefit, a twisted relationship that cannot be unraveled.
All the ingredients for a wonderful love story are in place, and I should probably ask Knight Palano to come back to our place to give those two guys a 'blessing of pure love'.
ha!
I knew it would be fun!"
——
Just when Murphy was not thinking about appreciating other people's troubles to amuse his melancholy self, in the village chief's yard of Farm No. 3 near Scarlet Castle, Shizong was very good and his four secretaries were making plans for what they had planned.
The "Village Development Plan" is undergoing final revisions.
They are very busy.
Occasionally we exchanged a few words and then continued to work on the plan that had been prepared for several days. From the thick stack of paper, you can see that this is definitely a work of care.
But soon, another "guest" appeared in Lao Huo's office.
The leader of the Blood Rat Gang, Dorothy, quietly jumped in from the window, seemingly wanting to appear in the "traditional way" of a thief. However, before she even took a step forward, she noticed an inaudible psychic energy under her feet.
trap.
That thing has been activated.
It is arranged throughout the office in a cunning way that fits the gaps in the floor tiles, making it impossible for assassins with poor eyesight or experience to detect it.
As long as you touch the psychic lines under your feet that have spread out in all directions and are vibrating slightly in the shadows, the trap will be triggered.
Dorothy didn't know what effect this psychic trap had, but she didn't intend to try it recklessly just because she was good at movement. Any thief who lived long would not take the initiative to use her own feet to compete with a trap with unknown effects.
strength.
Being highly skilled is not a reason to seek death recklessly, and good luck is not a reason to risk one's life casually.
So the cautious leader of the Blood Rat Gang appeared on the spot, and Luo Yan, who reacted the fastest, grabbed the short staff at hand. Although he had not passed the black iron test, the spiritual energy beam gathered at the top of the staff was already quite extraordinary.
Coupled with her outstanding personal image, she does have a bit of a psionicist demeanor.
The reaction of the other three girls and secretaries was slower, but they immediately grabbed their own weapons. Judging from the styles, they were warriors, hunters and bards.
Although they all work part-time in administrative professions, judging from the crisp and neat movements of the four girls, they also work hard on their own personal strength.
This is also easy to understand.
Becoming an administrator is work, choosing a fighting career is life. Elite players like them always keep a clear distinction between work and personal life.
"Don't be nervous, put down your weapon."
Lao Huo was also shocked when he saw Dorothy appear. As a trickster, he set up a ghost trap in his office, but it seems that it is not enough to deal with an assassin like Dorothy. In his heart
Regretful but still trying to act like a general.
While waving his hands in an imposing manner, he said in a long voice:
"Ms. Dorothy and her Blood Rat Gang are the most valuable partners of our 'Transia Entertainment and Leisure Guild'. I believe her visit today is not malicious.
We are friends, right? Ms. Dorothy."
"Are you imitating Murphy?"
Dorothy rudely used a superb shadow step to pass through the shadows and appeared on the chair opposite Lao Huo. She casually pulled out the chair and leaned on it.
She snorted and said:
"Murphy's style doesn't suit you. After all, you're not a vampire. No matter how you disguise it, you don't have that kind of inherent evil... Just laugh, Mr. Huo.
Your smile is very friendly, which makes your success rate always high when you lie to others.
As for the purpose of my coming today, it is very simple.
Dividends!”
She smiled, and then threw a bag full of gold coins on the table. The heavy thing hit the table and made a heavy sound like money.
However, the life was quite good and he didn’t even look at the dividends that could make ordinary players rich overnight. He showed his usual gentle and humble smile and said:
“So, scratch-off sales are going well?”
"Good? No, no, no, I wouldn't use 'good' to describe that magical little cutie. I would use more vivid words, such as 'hot', such as 'sought after', such as 'crazy'."
Dorothy's voice was filled with undisguised pleasure, and she said loudly:
"It's just the income from the first period. After excluding the bonuses paid for the first, second, third and consolation prizes, plus the money I ordered for the machines and the labor fees I paid to my subordinates, our total income from this period of scratch-off games is..."
"No, don't tell me! I don't care about that."
Lao Huo stretched out his hand to stop Dorothy from reporting.
He's not pretending, he really doesn't care.
This guy's eyes flashed with the sharp light he cultivated when he was racing in the mall, and he said in a deep voice:
"I said before, this little fuss is just a little 'little gift' to make the Blood Rat Gang and the Shadow Intelligence Bureau trust me.
If you're satisfied with this, can we start talking about the real 'big business'?"
"Isn't this big enough?"
Dorothy was a little dissatisfied and retorted:
"This period's income has already equaled the income I made in one month when I was working in the black market! My subordinates praised me for my wisdom and martial prowess, and I saw the admiration and loyalty in their eyes.
I think this is enough to satisfy Mrs. Adele, but you say this is just a small business that cannot be brought to the table.
To be honest, Mr. Huo, I regret it a little. This transaction with you has made me feel scared, not just because of your attitude towards money.
Even more because I seem to see your ambition.
Is it too late for me to quit now?"
"If you want the admiration and loyalty in the eyes of your subordinates to disappear, I can accept your withdrawal at any time and I will choose another partner."
Life is fine and he shrugged his shoulders and said:
"His Excellency Maxim is forming a new army of the Transian People's Army. As we all know, training the army is the most expensive. I believe that he will not miss this kind of 'loyalty promotion'.
Or maybe Miss Femis has been raising funds for the construction of the 'Midnight Tower'.
She is a wise psionicist. She can definitely see the benefits that cooperation with me will bring. Not to mention one mage tower, even ten and hundreds of them can be built.
Look, Ms. Dorothy.
Although Mrs. Adele is Lord Murphy's blood descendant will not change because of her poor work performance, but I believe that Mrs. Adele definitely hopes to let Lord Murphy see her ability, and
Make your own contribution to Mr. Murphy's career.
At least it cannot perform worse than the other heirs of Lord Murphy.
As one of Lady Adele's children, you should also consider the face and dignity of your elders when making a decision.
I have studied the culture of vampires, you don’t think I chose you as my collaborator just on impulse, do you?”
Lao Huo showed a smile that made Dorothy grit her teeth. Then he picked up the finalized plan on the table and lowered it. Dorothy took it in his hand and glanced at it. She said in embarrassment:
"This kind of thing is not banned but it..."
"Power must be used properly, Ms. Dorothy. Transia is full of waste. If you want to restore prosperity to this land quickly, you must take the wrong approach."
Life is good. He shook his head and said:
"What's more, we have added enough restrictions to it, and its local impact will be minimized. My suggestion is to take it to Mrs. Adele to see our plan.
It's just a casino built for the consumption of Yankees and New Zealanders. It's not a sinful thing. After all, who's money is not earned?
Isn't it a beautiful thing to suck their blood to help us develop?"
"Just a casino?"
Dorothy narrowed her eyes and said:
"I'm starting to wonder what you do in your plane? Mr. Huo, can you say such things casually?
Any sane ruler knows the dire consequences of allowing this kind of thing to spread in his territory!
You are challenging the order that Transia has finally established."
"I am not, I am not, and I am not crazy enough to harm my own interests, because I am a part of this order that I personally created. If I dare to make any move to destroy it, you don't need to do it, my compatriots.
He will first think of ways to punish me severely."
Lao Huo shrugged and explained:
"This is just a 'development experience', nothing more, it has passed the test of another period of history.
I believe Lord Murphy will understand me. He is an outstanding ruler and he knows how to properly use various tools that can help him.
Once we get the support of the Shadow Intelligence Agency and the Blood Rat Gang, we can start construction immediately. I have already contacted the Masons Brotherhood, and they will send some novices here to build the main building of the casino.
It only takes a week!
It will take at most a week for the casino to open.
The time happened to be stuck at the point where the first Yankee merchants had finished dumping their goods in Transia and plundered the wealth belonging to this land.
It doesn't matter whether it's early or late.
Whether we can gain popularity depends on this effort, so I hope you can take the initiative to help both of us advance this plan!"
It was a good time to stop.
He looked at Ms. Dorothy who looked hesitant, threw down the last king bomb, and said:
"Of course, the security and logistical support for any relevant links in the casino business chain will be provided by your subordinates. I cannot guarantee that all of them will become rich, but I can guarantee that they will be grateful to you for this new job.
, and regard you as the eternal and only leader of the Blood Rat Gang.
In this way, your status and power in Transia will not only be guaranteed.
Can it even go one step further, like Lord Dorothy?"
